Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to the improvement of traffic signal lights installed on traffic roads in snowy areas.

Conventionally, an eaves 3 is attached to a light exit window 2 of a traffic signal light 1 as shown in FIG. 1 in snowy areas.
If there is snow on the road, snow and icicles will hang down from the tip 3a of the eaves 3, as shown by the dashed line in Figure 1, and the light emitted from the traffic signal light 1 will be blocked, resulting in an extremely dangerous accident.

In order to avoid the above-mentioned accidents in advance, security personnel patrolled the snow cover under the eaves 3 of traffic signal lights 1 and repeatedly removed snow day and night during the snowfall season. This snow removal work is extremely labor-intensive and requires safety staff to carry around long bamboo poles and other equipment while outdoors in the snow, and is highly risky for injury from falling snowflakes and icicles. be.

An object of the present invention is to provide a traffic signal light that can maintain a snow-free condition without any snow removal work.

In other words, the present invention has a gable shape with slopes on both sides, and a thin snow-splitting board with a height of 1 cm or more protruding vertically upward from the ridge. The present invention relates to a traffic signal lamp characterized in that a roof plate is fixed to the upper part of the eaves, and the entire outer surface of the roof plate is covered with snow sliding material.

The following is one of the drawings for the traffic signal light according to the present invention.
This will be explained in detail with reference to examples.

2A and 2B are a front view and a side view showing an embodiment of a traffic signal light according to the present invention, which is an improved version of the traffic signal light shown in FIG. 1.

In the drawing, 1 is a traffic signal light, 2 is a light exit window provided in the traffic signal light 1, 3 is an eaves attached to the front upper part of the light exit window 2, and 4 is fixed to the top of the eaves 3. The roof plate 4 is formed into a gable shape with a slope α on both sides, and is a thin snow-splitting plate having a height h of 1 cm or more vertically upward from the ridge 4a. 4b has a protruding shape, and the entire outer surface is covered with snow sliding material 5. Incidentally, the slope α of the roof plate 4 is empirically determined based on the quality and amount of snow falling in the area where the traffic signal light according to the present invention is used, the spacing between the eaves 3, etc.; Similarly, the height h of the snow-splitting plate 4b formed vertically upward from the ridge 4a.
This is determined empirically depending on the quality and amount of snow falling in each region, but if it is less than 1 cm, the snow accumulated on both sides of the snow-splitting plate 4b will connect and pull together above it and will not fall from the top of the roof plate 4. It is necessary to have a height of at least 1 cm, but if the height is higher than necessary, it will increase resistance to wind and become uneconomical, so it is preferably 5 cm or less. Further, the roof plate 4 may be integrally molded or assembled from a plurality of parts, but the material is preferably a thin plate made of aluminum, which is lightweight and has excellent weather resistance. Furthermore, the snow sliding material 4b that covers the entire outer surface of the roof board 4 may be one whose outer surface is coated with a fluororesin paint, or one whose outer surface is coated with a paint whose main component is silicone resin by spraying or baking. However, it is possible to apply a rubber-based adhesive or other adhesive to the back of a sheet-like material laminated with aluminum foil or fluororesin film, which has a surface layer of fluororesin film, which requires less work and construction costs. For example,
The sheet-shaped snow sliding material manufactured by Tokai Kinzoku Co., Ltd. and sold under the trade name "Sugamoraz" or "Suberuk" has the weather resistance, flame resistance, and
It is most preferred because it combines water resistance and the properties of aluminum foil, such as heat ray reflection and moisture resistance.

Since the traffic signal light according to the present invention has the structure as described above, the snow falling on the roof plate 4 is removed from the snow splitting plate 4.
Since the snow is accumulated in sections on the outer surfaces of the roof panels 4 on both sides, which are sloped by b, the snow accumulates on the sliding material 5, which is extremely slippery, and even with the slight weight of the snow accumulation, it is extremely easy to accumulate snow. Since the snow falls naturally, there is no need for patrolling and snow removal work, which was conventionally done day and night.

As described above, the traffic signal light of the present invention can be easily manufactured by modifying a conventional traffic signal light, and can prevent dangerous accidents, and has extremely high social value. There is something.
